Shownotes:

We had a great time with Andy, and the content was flowing early and often. Learn all about Andy’s ABC’s of CEO’ing, how he recommends entrepreneurs seek out those first few key hires, and how he manages to keep a team hungry as they race to the finish line.

We also had some great listener emails, including a great question about ways to find angel money for a non-technology related business – big love, baby!

Our format is a little out of the norm as far as podcasts go. We treat our efforts as a true “show” rather than a super-concise (limited) vehicle for delivery of information. Therefore, the podcasts can run a bit long (actually, it is largely driven by the guests and their responses.) While we try to have very substantive discussions, we also try to have a lot of fun along the way (and that tends to elongate the programming a wee bit.) Our theory is that if we are having fun during the show, hopefully, you will be having a little fun listening as well.

Here is the breakdown for the show, in case you want to hop around.

A special thanks to Andy for coming in and hanging out with us!
